 What are the parts of the stern tube?

​

Stern tube is a section of pipe fixed at the stern of a ship to allow the shaft to pass through and provided with a seal and support device. The components of the stern tube are generally divided into bearings, sealing devices, cooling water systems, lubricating oil systems, exhaust pipes and sewage outlets.



Bearings: Bearings are the core components of the stern tube, used to support and protect the shafting, and to withstand axial and radial loads. According to different ship types and design requirements, bearings can be used in different forms such as plain bearings, rolling bearings and hydraulic bearings.

Sealing device: Sealing device is an important part to prevent the leakage of lubricating oil and other media. According to the different sealing medium and pressure, the sealing device can be divided into oil lubricated rubber ring seal and air lubricated rubber ring seal.

Cooling water system: In order to prevent bearings and other components from overheating, it is usually necessary to set up a cooling water system. The cooling water system can pass water or other cooling media through bearings and other parts to take away heat and recycle it.

Lubricating oil system: In order to reduce friction and wear, bearings and other transmission components need to be lubricated regularly. The lubricating oil system can transport the lubricating oil to each lubrication point through the oil pump to ensure the normal operation of the components.

Exhaust pipe and sewage outlet: In order to remove exhaust gas and sewage in time, the stern pipe is usually equipped with exhaust pipe and sewage outlet. The exhaust pipe can discharge the exhaust gas out of the ship, while the sewage outlet can discharge the sewage overboard or into a specialized sewage treatment system.

Quick Closing Valve Series

图片
  Quick Closing Valve Series ​ The  Quick  closing valve  is usually faster than the conventional valve in its closing speed, so it is called the  Quick  closing valve . The closing speed of the  quick closing valve  can be adjusted and controlled in a variety of ways, such as by changing the preload force of the spring, changing the fluid pressure, or changing the structure of the valve. In some cases, quick-closing valves can also be opened quickly to meet specific fluid control needs. In addition to the automatic closing function, the  quick closing valve  has some other features, such as good sealing performance, corrosion resistance and wear resistance. These characteristics make the quick-closing valve maintain better performance and longer service life during use. Besqo Marine offers a wide range of  Marine V alves .

Advantages and disadvantages of twin screw air compressor

图片
  Advantages and disadvantages of twin screw air compressor Twin-screw air compressors  are usually used on board ships to provide compressed air to meet the needs of various equipment, such as engines, gas cylinders, kitchen equipment, sanitary facilities, etc. ​ Advantages of  twin screw air compressor : High reliability: twin-screw air compressor has high reliability and stability, because its rotor speed is high, and the rotor tooth surface contact line is long, so that the machine can withstand greater load and impact. High efficiency: The twin-screw air compressor uses an advanced screw design, which makes the compression efficiency higher, and can provide higher compressed air quality and lower energy consumption. Easy maintenance: Twin screw air compressor has simple structure, relatively easy to maintain, and long life. Wide range of application: twin screw air compressor is suitable for a variety of different applications, such as power, chemical, pharmaceutical, food, light

What Is A Pressure Reducing Valve?

图片
  What Is A Pressure Reducing Valve? Pressure reducing valves  help ships by reducing incoming high-pressure water to a lower and safer pressure. They are usually installed on the main water pipe next to the   stop valve . ​ As water flows through the valve, it passes through the diaphragm connected to the spring and reduces the pressure to the desired level as the water flows through the other side of the valve. The pressure reducing valve can also be set to any desired downstream pressure within its design limits. Once the valve is set up, the decompression will remain the same despite changes in supply pressure and system load. Pressure reducing valves  protect Marine pipes and pipe fittings from rupture due to high water pressure. High water pressure can put pressure on pipes, causing them to break or damage pipe fittings, which can lead to leaks. Besqo Marine offers a wide range of  Marine V alves .
